BigDaddyK having real issues with dropping ph , as you can see, I have taken 4 photos, of the leaves in different stages, ranging from stage 1 to stage 4 - i Havent had a plant drop like this before, this maybe why people are finding it difficult.
Changed reservoirs today weds
Found out the issue - THRIPS - I couldnt understand why the ph was dropping so fast and now i know
I ordered some ladybirds to eat the thrips , I m also keeping temperature up and humidity low
Ladybird s are here , Iβve let them loose into the tent , like little ninjas
BigDaddyK so the ladybirds seem to have stopped the flow of the thrips, the first plant has been attacked quite badly but i think they have stopped the others getting as badly affected,Fingers crossed.The ph has not been fluctuating as badly, and seems to be more stable.
See week 6 for pictures of Thrips.
Changed reservoirs today Thursday
BigDaddyK leaves have been eaten by the thrips but the buds look ok, two of them are being dragon forced, as they are ahead, 18/4/19

RO WATER

BigDaddyK So i ve taken two of them down, the other two are flushing with RO water, i saw they were ahead and i used the dragonforce a week earlier, so last week was a flush week for them with RO water, it seems to have finished quite purple, i think its smells peppery, definitely at least 3 different phenotypes. one is short and stocky , another taller and more spindly , but there is one that seems to be perfect almost an inbetween of the other two.
its a shame the thrips ate all the leaves :(
i plan to have a complete neem oil disinfect after a bleaching.
A sweet fruity , with a hint of pepper smell , two joints for maximum effect . Strong very relaxing see week 6 for diagnosis , probably one of the nicest smelling buds in the jar, its like sweets, just lovely..
Hi I will help you get this problem under control. I am sorry i didnt see this a month ago...... Ok so here you go incase u miss the other answer. Buy new soil and Clean everything out. dont leave old leafes or trim around. Burn it. For the future grows you need yo sterilize everything then use Orius bug (like lady bug helps you but wont harm your Medecin.)
Orius insidiosus, also called the minute pirate bug, is an aggressive thrips predator β possibly the most effective. It attacks and kills all mobile stages of thrips, including adult thrips.
Orius is a true bug, which means it has a long rostrum (feeding tube). It uses its rostrum to pierce its prey, and drain the contents, killing the pest.
A βgeneralistβ predator, Orius feeds on many pest species, such as mites, aphids and moth eggs for food. It will control thrips, and helps in the control of the other pest species.
@BigDaddyK, I am so sorry to hear that. Yeah i had 3 harvest destroyed until i found the Orius insidiosus. Well hope you never have to deal with them again! cheers.
@FavoriteCookie, Thanks for the explanation, I hope I never get them.. But the question was for general color change (turning purple for example), how do I make them do that?
@MaryJaneUSA, Thrips is my worst nightmare. Yes the last few weeks of flowering you start to flush them, using slightly colder water (not ice cold) and keep the night temp slightly lower and you will see the plant change to its "fall" colors. not every plant change color to purple, some might turn yellow or even stays green or even other colors trough out the last few week's but one thing you see is the fan/guard leaves turning color and plant is getting ready for harvest. Also Magnesium deficiency can turn some plants purple but its not a trait you should look for or keep. Cheers!
@MaryJaneUSA, the purple is genetics , I think , certain flavours seem to change in the last week s , Iβm not sure whether it really matters to be honest as the same strain can be green or purple , having said that , the thrips ate the shit out of the leaves and caused ph issues , if you were in soil I can see them killing the plant , as you would find it near on impossible to raise the ph . You have to understand the a temperature and humidity controlled environment is the key to success , we forget just how good nature really is !
